3 weeks? I just ordered one from AT&T in one of their stores and they told me that they're supposed to say we'll get it in 5-7 business days but the sales lady said they've been getting them in 2-3 days. FYI - she told me this *after* I purchased the phone so it wasn't a sales pitch.

When did you place your pre-order?
 
Stupid question, did you call your own number, the person who pick up your phone might be looking for the owner, also did you report to AT&T, you phone might be return to the AT&T store.

Yes and Yes
 
I've already accepted that I will never see it again. So I've pre-ordered a new one at my local AT&T store.

I also checked possible shipping dates and according to Apple.com it's 3 weeks from now. Holy Cow!!!

I forget, does SquareTrade cover loss?

since you pre-ordered how much will you be paying if you dont mind me asking? i am assuming you wont get a discounted price?
 
I know how you feel. My 3GS was stolen about a month ago. I've heard about those locator apps but always thought they were pointless. When I get my iphone 4, that's one of the first things I'm getting
 
If you used a Credit Card you might just have loss protection (not a debit card with a visa logo, but a no crap credit card). I know that all of my cc's have loss protection, so check it out.
 
Curious how you carried around your phone.

In pocket, case on belt, etc..

Actually I carry it in my Man Purse (yes you heard me "M A N P U R S E").

Here's the thing, I was on-call at the hospital (hello, look at my handle "xraytech") and I had to put my iPhone in silent mode during the movie. I can't hear or feel my iPhone vibrate when it's in my Man Purse. So usually I place it in those convenient cup holders in my seat. I did that for years with with beepers and mobile phones and today of all days I forget it.

No Luck
 
Yeah, that 3 week deal is a bummer. :(

I just ordered one for my mom from apple.com and it says "shipped by July 27th".

She's not a freak like me, she can wait. : l

HOLY CRAP!!!

I bow in your presence Mr. "Demi-God"
 
I want to see a "back to the future" remake/reboot....maybe :eek:

Hmm... Interesting. Or at least do over "Back to the Future 2". Total crap number 2 was.

Sorry admins, this is how I cope with loss :(

Keep them coming people. :D
 
Yeah, about the 3 weeks. Why do you think the wait so long? Did Apple realize they were shipping defective product (faulty antenna & proximity sensors).

No. The demand was higher than expected.

Remember, Apple sells the iPhone in other countries as well. :)

At least you have an iPhone to hold you over.

Ah I see. That's one reason I go for belt or waist cases. I keep phone on silent unless I'm home. On waist can feel it and less risk of loosing.

Stuff happens though.

I'd look into a case.
 
Its why I have Mobile protect through ATT. its 12 a month and 200 deductible. With my apple care and this I'm covered for anything. I'm willing to give up one meal or a movie to to pay out 200 than 700 plus.
 
You're the best.....around, and no ones eva' gonna keep ya down! You're the best.....around.

I was disappointed that they didn't bring that song back for the remake. Or at the least play it towards the end of the credits.
 
If anyone has ever used SafeWare and turned in a claim, did they send you a new phone right away or did they try to avoid doing what they're supposed to? I'm leaning towards Squaretrade because it's two years, which will help with resale value, but SafeWare is cheaper and covers more. Hm..
